Well here is my opinions:

Question #1 -

Yes China has already brought weapons, munitions, arms and short-range missiles and/or medium-range missiles (or missile parts) into Panama

Question #2 -

Yes it is possible -and I believe highly probable - that at some point in the future, Communist China might instruct Hutchison/Whampoa to stop U. S. ships from traversing the Panama Canal.

Question #3 -

Yes it is possible that Communist China is already - storing short-range and medium-range missiles in containers in the holds of COSCO ships and such ships have come and gone - into the Hutchison-Whampoa leased piers - and left any such ships with missile parts - docked for extended periods of time - in Hutchison-Whampoa leased piers.

Fred, we seem to agree here...:>)
